As he steadily rushed towards Anya, Coen swiftly threw out his palm. His palm strength was like water flowing in a river. On the surface, it looked pretty harmless, but it actually contained tremendous power. After Anya took the strike head-on, the surging spiritual power was able to push her back a few meters.
'What? I did not expect that the giant demon race will be much stronger than they were before, ' Anya thought to herself, a bit surprised by the sudden turn of events. She had experienced battling them before, so she had a clear grasp of their strength. Hence, she was taken aback to see that the strength that Coen displayed just now exceeded what she remembered.
At the same time, when Rocky saw that Anya was actually forced back by Coen's seemingly casual attack, his brows also furrowed. Without wasting any time, he rushed and landed to her side, intending to support her.
"Are you okay?" Rocky quickly asked.
"Yes, I am fine. I was just a little bit caught off guard. Master, these demons are stronger than they were before. Please be careful in dealing with them," Anya warned with a frown.
"I see. But don't worry too much. I am sure that I can handle this guy with you by my side." After saying that, Rocky instantly wielded the God-killing Sword and calmly rushed towards Coen.
Upon seeing this, Coen could only sneer, thinking that it was ridiculous that the young man was trying to confront him given his current strength. Then, Coen punched hard on the ground. Immediately after, sharp stone pillars rose and surrounded Rocky in an instant.
"Demonic avatars, I summon you!" In the blink of an eye, Rocky created several avatars that rushed and avoided the stone pillars.
Soon enough, Rocky's real body appeared before Coen. With a swift slash, he let out a powerful sword shadow that bolted towards Coen.
"Humph! You think that a mere member of the Shura Race deserves to use such a precious divine treasure?!" Then, a ball of cyan flame emerged from Coen's palm. He hurled it towards the sword shadow in order to consume it.
In an instant, the cyan flame engulfed the entire sword shadow. But after that, it also headed directly towards Rocky.
However, Rocky did not even try to dodge at all. Instead, he just held the God-killing Sword in front of his chest. The next moment, the rushing cyan flame came in contact with Rocky, generating a huge explosion that caught everyone's attention.
"Ha! That's what you get for overestimating yourself!" Seeing how Rocky was consumed by the explosion, Coen let out a mocking grin. His devil flame could easily devour a diabolic beast that had iron-like skin and bones, so he was confident that Rocky could not survive that.
However, it was Coen who had underestimated Rocky. Before the cyan flame dissipated, an ice shadow suddenly shot out like a meteor streaking the air at an incredible speed. Then, from the shadow's hand, a golden light glowed brightly. In a flash, the light slashed Coen's left arm, severing it in an instant.
"Argh!" Coen immediately let out an agonizing scream. Although he was in his spirit form, he could still feel the absolute pain that was brought about by the God-killing Sword.
"Damn you, brat!" Coen was in utter disbelief. Not only was Rocky unharmed by his devil flame, but the young man also managed to cut off one of his arms.
Seeing this, Cody and Callan attempted to rush over and assist Coen. However, before they could proceed, they were already blocked by an ominous black fog.
"Where do you think you're going? Your opponent is me. If you want to live, I suggest that you get out of here as soon as possible. Provoke me and I swear that you won't be able to see the sun again," the demoness threatened them in an atrocious tone.
However, the members of the giant demon race were ruthless and fierce in nature. Hence, even if they thought that they were at a disadvantage, they would not easily admit defeat. Moreover, they knew that the demoness' body was close to its limit. Thus, they were confident that they could take her down with ease.
Indeed, the demoness' physical body was on the brink of collapsing, but as long as she did not use her strength excessively, she was still going to be fine for the time being.
In terms of strength, she was superior to the two demons, so she did not need to go all out.
On the other hand, Coen was still furious about his arm being cut off. But since he was a spirit now, his lost arm gradually regenerated. As long as his soul was not destroyed, he could recover no matter how severe the damage to his body was.
Rocky also expected this to happen, so he did not dare to lower his guard. Besides, his only goal was to threaten Coen. He did not expect to kill the demon in just one strike.
"How dare you look down on me? I will kill all of you!" Not able to contain his rage, Coen suddenly let out a burst of maniacal laughter. Immediately after, it turned into ghostly cries and howls that reverberated in the entire Demon Sealing Palace. It sounded very eerie and disturbing.
Then, a moment later, Rocky suddenly felt that his vision became blurry and he had a manic sensation surging from within his body. Moreover, all the other people present also experienced the same thing. It was as if they were forced to have a strong bloodthirsty impulse in their minds.
